Welcome to Ask Different. That question is old but it's still relevant. You can't find the owner from the iPad if it's locked. Take it to the police and tell them where you found it.

Go to a place with a no password (open) WiFi. If your lucky the iPad is setup to connect automatically. Once it’s connected hold down the home button to activate Siri. If you are lucky and the iPad is set up to allow you to do this ask some of the following questions to help identify who the user is.

Send a text to [random common name like Bob, John, Sam, Mike, Josh] I found this iPad and am not sure the owner if you could reply with owner and his/her contact info I colors return the iPad

Send an email to [random common name] with same message as above

What’s [common name]’s phone number? (Can be contacted separately)

Who am I? What’s my number? What’s my email? Where do I live?

Hopefully one or more of these will work and allow you to get in contact with real people who know who owns the iPad
